I mean, that crowd is so fucking awesome every single time.

And they're all just vibe and like, and there's rumors that there's also a Paris event. So now we get another event in Europe. There's little good food in Paris.

How was the camping trip Let's get there Bad now that I That I'm wearing this I wish I would have taken this with me It was good It was good It was a good camping trip

my friends and I from high school started going camping fishing in 1997 since then we've gone every single year we skip one year because somebody got married you know what we need we need like a once of year optic camping outing the way that the thieves used to do like the creator camp

yeah but like funner and cool no more fun and I mean I don't know how fun it was but let's we're just going just to do shrooms and no I'm kidding we we uh if we do go like anyone can record whatever they want It's like, let's not go create content because that, that experience should be. I think cameras in an envelope.

I think phones in an envelope off the grid, two days. Just straight up human beings. Okay, but we got a camera though because we do got a document, right? For ourselves, not even to share. Yeah, we'll have, we'll have Raj there. Sweating his ass off.

Yeah, I went camping. As I said, I went to, uh, shout out to the dude that showed up. Uh, super cool dude, fucking easy. Like literally, uh, I would say like, one of those perfect interactions with with a fan right because you know like all of us we want to meet everybody but you know what I'm saying so this guy shows up and I well we were right next to the bathroom area right and I'm like you know the sheriff would come by other sheriffs like

there's constant people coming by but this one time this this this one black car shows up and we all look and I'm like oh it's probably like because it was raining so we were under the awning and then whatever. I'm going all over the place with the story. I apologize. But he shows up and I'm like, Danny, you go talk to him because I'm like, I'm not in the right state of mind to go say what's up.

Now, again, I'm in the middle of Baggo tournament putting on a clinic. And then he's like, he's like, hey man, what's up? How can I help you? And then he's like, oh, man, I was wondering if I could get a picture with hex. And then I heard that.

And I'm like, what the fuck? I look and I'm like, yo, what's up, man? Like, obviously I was excited to see a member of the green wall. of course and also I was with like 10 of my friends so like I feel pretty safe

not that this is gonna do it but I said what's up took a picture with him and I'm like yo how'd you find me he's like oh blah blah blah well thank you for stopping by and saying hello he was super easy

he's like I'm gonna leave right now like don't worry I just want a picture blah blah and I was cool the rest of the six hours drive back no no he was definitely a local he was definitely because I was like literally

in the middle of like in a lake in a big ass lake and there's like I was I was off grid gosh darn it but it's a cool interaction the trip was good uh I I got better at making fires which is you know when you go out there you try to get your survival list you'd use the it's an opportunity what did you use the flint no I did not use flint remember how much trouble we had using that yeah we did not use flint that shit was kind of embarrassing but but I also didn't apply fire directly to the wood I did other maneuvers and shit

you gotta go find a birch bark tree you know shave off the birch bark no no no somebody said somebody said last week somebody type count how many minutes it takes before hex talks about wheat I'm like what the fuck no I don't do I yeah that's what you just brought it up so that was for me

they don't count I hope they do it next time you're on so long story short we should go camping five minutes we should camping, sitting around a fire with your boys while you have a bev in your hand. Good times, man. Good times. Really, really good time. Talk about life.

Put the phones away from once in our lives. Just stare at the fire, look up at the sky. Bro, the skies there were, I mean, obviously immaculate. Listen for the animals in the background. Somebody scurries behind a tree. Love that shit. Yeah. Love that shit.

You're like, guess, guess how many spiders there were around us? Not as many as when we went camp. No? No. Were you looking hard for them? Of course. Okay, yeah. Yeah, obviously, like, are you, you know, right?

How to find spiders? Put the phone. How to find them? Yeah, you put the flashlight in front of you so that the light reflects directly back at you. And if you're like, if you're looking in the forest, bro, you'll see like a thousand little mini stars looking back at you and you just know that those are spiders. Does that mean they're staring at you? Oh, I never want to do that.

I don't know if they're staring at you. I think they might be looking at the light. Yeah, for sure. They're staring at you. Aren't they looking everywhere? Don't they have like four? You know, like you see an animal like like an eye on each side? You see just it's glaring eyes.

It's staring at you. Yeah. Those spiders are 100% staring at you. And then the bigger the fucking diamond glowing back at you, the bigger the eye, and therefore the bigger the spider. Yeah. Yeah. So we were good, man. We were good.

Fucking, I started all the fires. I was pretty proud of myself. Made some fireside chilly in the can. To the fire. I know your stomach was dumb. Hell no. Zinni asked me if I stayed in a tent or was I in a cabin. I was in a tent.

I asked if you were like glamping or like camping with. tent, like the full. For the last three years, we have been glamping. Like, I'll rent, like, a fucking big-ass crib next to the lake. Like a big crib. See, I think that's fire. But then this year, last year I was like, I'm like, yo, man, there's too many fucking people here. Not that I'm mine, right?

It's 22 of my closest friends. 22? Not this time. This other was only 10. Oh, okay. But, yeah, 22. Deep. We go deep.

Damn. But I'm like, I'm like, yo, next year we're going to stay outside. Let's see how many people fall off. Half. Half fell off. To those of you who are my friends that didn't come with, just know that I think differently of you now. Were they like valid reasons though?

No? Okay. They made shit up. What I'm said, I just got a new dog and I felt like it was my responsibility to be there. Shut the fuck up. Chach your ass up, as we say. But yeah, I had a really good time. Burgers were going.

Dude, I ate so much. It was the best, bro. First night, it's always arachera tacos. This time around, my boy Angel, uh, His mom makes like this fucking salsa that's like top three in my in my world is top three and it's not number three Really it's so good bro. It goes on every it is so good Verde or spicy? Oh, it's spicy? No. Yeah, of course. You think I'm gonna say this also was so tasty no It used to be spicy man. What you guys do this weekend? Pam?

This weekend not shit this weekend. I didn't do jack shit man this weekend. No watch football All bullshit. That beating on them fucking cowboys. Did a bunch of walks, played some Eldon Ring. That's all I've been doing. What did I? Dreamed? No, I played Valon.

Stream 12 hours. How did it go? Hawaii was awesome, bro. I mean... Did you come back expecting a baby? No, no. It was great, though. I mean, just a different way of life over there.

You're in bed. Because here I'm not in bed until, like, I would say, earliest midnight. Over there you're in bed like 8, 9 p.m. Like actually because you're exhausted. Really? Because you're in the sun all day. The sun was hot. It was 85 degrees, but it felt like it was here.

It was so hot. But it was, that place is paradise. That place, I understand why people retire there and it's a very older crowd, very quiet. There's like no nightlife, which is what I wanted. I didn't want to, like, go out to bars or clubs. It was just beach, pool, some cocktails. And it was. There's some like outdoor bars, right?

Yeah, there's. Like there was some beach front bars. And the swim up bars were great. It was just like, it was just peaceful. It was just. Did you see in volcanoes or anything? We stayed right by, we didn't go up the volcano. Okay, that's what I meant.

I see them. Haleakala, we didn't go up there. But yeah, now it was. I would totally go see a volcano. That was a trip. And scream into it. I saw one in Guatemala. Yeah, you did.

I didn't want to drive the rental up there. I was like kind of scared to drive a rental. up the volcano because I'm like, well, first off, I've never driven up a volcano in my entire life. Yeah. Second, if I got to pay for this car, I'm going to lose my fucking mind. So I'm like, you know what?

You can get insurance on the car? This is also a trip that I wanted to do like, yeah, I had insurance, but I'm like, I don't think insurance covers if the, I mean, if the car goes, you're going. You ain't getting out. I am. But.

I'm, I promise I'm out of that. I mean, bro, the car is going to get you down faster than your feet. Shit. I'd be like, this. I would have been with it. Well, Hawaii was a trip where I didn't really want to do anything. Like, I went to Hawaii because, like, I chose Hawaii because I wanted to just do nothing for a week. Yeah.

And just relax. I didn't want much on the itinerary. Like, Kate planned some stuff, but I'm like, keep it to a little bit of a minimum because if I wanted to be walking around nonstop, we'd be in Europe or, like, we'd be sightsy. Yeah. Yeah, like I want to just not move and just lay down. Some white lotus shit. I don't know. I do that.

Wing up. It was gorgeous, though. Cool. Come back to lunch. It was like the perfect mix. Like, we went snorkeling. at the, like the, uh, reefs? What's it called?

The Molokini Crater, which is like that big crater in like the middle of the ocean. We did that. We did a sunset cruise. Of course, hated some fantastic eateries. Enjoyed in the finest cuisine and cocktail programs. Of course, of course. It was awesome. No Maui Wawi where you were out there?

Maui Wawi. Hawaii Maui Wally? Oh, no, I didn't smoke. No smoke out there? No, I didn't smoke out there? I got to go to Jamaica. I think they're cool out there. with that man yeah i smelt it i smelt it everywhere yeah yeah well we're smelt it dealt it uh guys

i'm excited to announce i don't think that i've that i've told but i think people have said i'm going to cod next next next uh i haven't said your name yet i've said everybody's name but you because you didn't announce it yet oh i didn't you could have i wouldn't well i was just waiting for everyone to say it themselves before i said yeah i think i'm gonna vlog uh while i'm there uh what you're vlogging i'm just fucking uh oh oh the camera off me get the camera off me what we're at cod next We're there to have fun playing the new game. We got a squad. Me, you, Shotsie, Hitch, and Seth.

Yeah. We got to. It's Vegas, too, baby. I told Mark on the drive over, I said, dude, just come to come to Vegas. Yeah, why don't you come to Vegas? Come gamble, eat, drink. Leave my house and enter red instantly. Or enter green.

You can't think of it like that. I don't gamble. There's no green. Wait, you don't gamble? Well, how would you know there's no green if you don't gamble? Oh, here we go. I mean, yeah, yeah. Yeah, bro.

Damn. No. I've won some and I've won someone I've lost it. It's not always red, but it's not always green. It's easy. You just put shit off. I'm the type of guy that, how much 500 put it as shit on green? Because I'm trying to go bigger going.

Oh, God. Then you're going to be in the red. Oh, God. If you're bet on green. Real shit. I mean, I would like, that's, you know, I've been going to casino since I was able to. The Elgin Casino, the boat. Did you ever go there?

The way we ever go there? The boat? I know where it is. You know where it is. You know where it is. They're now. I made that boat mine. I hit black 13 times in a row with my boy Opie.

13 times in a row. And I was just letting it roll over. How much did you win? You bought the boat? I walked away with like $2,300 bucks. Well, I mean, at the time, I was like 21. I didn't have that much paper and shit, right? This lady next to me, listen, I'm betting,

I'm betting, me and my boy are betting on black the entire fucking time. This old, this, uh, this, uh, this matured lady next to me, she's like, don't do that again, put it on red. And I was like, what? I was like, I'm like, here, here's a chip. You put that on red and keep doing it. Just don't say that shit out loud to me ever again.

Color mind your own business. And I'm like, you should have followed me up. Please exit yourself. But yeah, man, I like it, man. That's why when Matt started getting all that beef, remember like last week when he was getting all that? I saw it all. I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs.

Bad timing. Bad timing. Right? Because they had the, they had the, they had the, they had already been planning on doing just because they needed to right size the business

so that it can level up and they can continue to do what they do. And then Matt had the announcement on the same week, right? I mean, and I believe that he didn't know it was happening because I know how disconnected he is from that business. But I'll go, I'll go to Mexico with Matt once a week. Well,

I was waiting for you to say it. Same, please. Hey, man. Hit my line. I'm like, first of all. What are we talking about here? Why are, like... Why are some people?

Well, they're saying that, I don't know. I might be honest with you. I don't know. Nothing to do with them. This is a divisive topic. Why? Well, because people feel very strongly about it. But my opinion on it,

I'm not even sure if I should say this, actually. Well, what I would say is like, if you want to say it, continue, I was going to cut you up to give you an out. Well, my opinion is like... If I go lose money, I blame myself. Yeah. Like, it's my fault.

Yeah. So, if you don't want to lose money, don't gamble. Yeah. And if you do lose money, blame yourself. Well, don't, don't, like, live streamers, like, go to Vegas and, like, live streamers. Because I've seen Dana White, like, uh, and all the, all the time. The, the, the, the, the, what are they? Nelke boys.

Nelke boys, fucking. Yeah, I mean. Apologies, milk boys. I respect. Forgot the name. for a bit. The Nelke Boys are always out there. It was just a bad... I'm almost certain that it was like a bad timing thing because they saw the dude fucking doing the case openings for about a month.

You know? It's the same... No, it's very similar. They were incurred... A lot of people were encouraging the cases and they loved watching that, but then it became, I guess, more official gambling-like stuff. And then everyone turned against it. Which I do understand it.

I'm not... I see their side, but... I've just always been of the mind where it's like, if you go gamble and you lose it all, I'll sympathize with you, but it's still your fault is the way I think. No, at the end of the, yeah, of course,

at the end of the day, no one's forcing you to give it a try. And listen, there are people, there are very few amount of people that have something in them that gets them addicted to chasing the, the, the, no, I get it, chasing it. Oh, now some of the shit,

sometimes the, the pitcher will throw a first pitch and it's such a ball, they're like, he had to have money on the first pitch ball because he threw it in the rafters. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Spiking it in the dirt. So, again, you know, they're, I don't know. It's just like, what do people think the future is going to look like? Like every single podcast that you talk to that has to do with sports has a sports betting

thing. But anything that has to do with competition has some sort of like gambling sponsor to it. In the end, and maybe the good thing is that this video will live on for a long time. In five years to 10 years, your screen, everything that you watch is going to have just flashing lights all over the place and they all have some gambling component due to it. And obviously like, you know, restrictions may apply, of course. But look at kids now with the mystery bundle packs, right? Watch a CS major. Everyone's going to say, holy shit, that CS major is insane. And why can't everybody do that? Well, where do you think the money's coming from? Yeah, the skins.

What do you think their main money maker is? Yeah, of course, skins. Gambling, gambling's everywhere, man. Like, car openings. Yes, continue. Cart openings, like, you know, like, even the, like, the looboos and shit. Exactly, exactly. They're doing it already. Like, you're buying something in hopes that you get something better.

And then you keep buying it until you hope you get something better. And at the end, there's no charzard in there. You know what I'm saying? At the end, there's no special laboo boo-boo or whatever. The only thing I... I'm trying to think what I get that feeling off of. The only thing to my core I disagree with is if someone's lying. Like if the creator is telling you, yo, use my code, you should gamble, you're going to win.

That's fucked up. That's a scumbag. But if I had, let's say, a big gambling deal, you would probably hear me say every 20 minutes, do not gamble, you're going to lose. As long as they're saying that type of stuff, or as long as they're saying gamble, as long as they're not telling you to gamble and giving you the illusion that you're going to win money, then it is what it is. Yeah, I just I just didn't quite understand like the amount of beef or the amount of drama that Matt got because I'm like man

and then he came out and says like his demographic was like you know fucking super old now like that's how I've always looked at this at this thing like when we were younger and our audience was like in the teens like think about the think about the loops that we all went through to make sure that there was never any cigarettes on camera

or that we didn't catch Seth on camera smoking or four more on camera smoking or four more on camera smoking. Like we literally went above and beyond to make sure that we didn't display any, you know, any uncouth thing to the youth. But, you know,

our audience grew up with us. And now Call of Duty is no longer a kitty game, right? You want that? Go to Fortnite. I understand if we had a Fortnite team and Seth and all of our history was in Fortnite and they're all, they were all six years old and now they're teenagers.

I get that. But, you know, our audience, and we always keep an eye on it for sales purposes, for sponsors and all that, like our audience is a little bit more mature and therefore, like, you know, grown up stuff, conversations can happen, right? Like, if we were sponsored by liquor or we were sponsored by Pine Park, like, that sort of thing.

Like, it's, it's an older audience that has grown up with us, you know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, and I agree with that. I agree. Anyway. Have you guys seen the Blackop seven multiplayer reveal trailer? I haven't seen anything. Let's watch it.

Please. I was going to say about that, press post on that. You see Aiden Ross is signed to do with rainbet? Who did? Aiden Ross. He left steak to go to rainbet yesterday. How much did you think he got? That means they paid him filthy.

50. They say 50 mil signing bonus. Yeah. I'd need that ASAP, then mouth move. 50 now, mouth move later. Listen, I again. Now, Mino talk to a 50 hit account. You also, again, man, like it's like, it's like a.

Finding bonus? Cheezer got like, I forgot like two mil, Convi got like five mil, cuff him got like seven. Seth, please. Oh, scum, please. Seth. Goop, please, please. Get something.

Why? Because you know this there would be some falloff? He's not giving it a shit, but. Oh, group deal, please, Seth. Oh, shit, dude. I mean, I, again, if someone's going to pay, if someone's going to pay anyone to go to, if someone's going to pay somebody to go to a,

where's Matt going Mexico I think Yeah When we were gonna do it Last two years ago We were gonna go to the Bahamas Right like once a month Because we we have had those conversations

Before And Seth and I were like All right well we're gonna go to the Bahamas then And just like Bring the family and we're gonna have family dinners You know what I'm saying? Like it's not it's not again And also it's not on the main channels

Move on let's watch this Let's watch the Black Cops 7 multiplayer reveal trailer Good reveal man I watched just like five times yesterday. This is my first time looking at it. I just got back to civilization. I'll give you my real opinion.

Oh my God. It's my year. This looks like cargo. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What was that? That was the tax dance. I think that's a perk. You think any pros are going to be doing that?

Hell yeah. I hope so. The assassination with the grenade. Just clear the hard point. Look at Raid, man. Well, it was Raid, right? Yeah. The maps have color.

They look vibrant. Yep. You can totally tell this is a Trayart game. the first thing I know it's just smooth it's polished it's gorgeous who disagree with that hated that this isn't slow motion right for the for the show yeah oh fuck my life that was fire oh the dragon's breath oh this gives me such biolab vibes right here yep oh yeah whoa wali has evolved wowley oh oh bam what you know about this Pam All that.

Everything. That's all I do. That's all I do, baby. Oh, that's a dope-ass double jump. What was that? He slid into the wall and then jumped off of it? Wait, that was fire. That's he a blue dyes, well.

You look how cool this map looks. Snow maps, finally. Perfect like... Oh, yo, Aurora Borealis. You saw that? Norris, bro. Wast no day. Then was no things.

Tings. Yes, so you can overclock gear. I'll explain that. Yes, please. In a sec. See that? are so cool now. You can like share your build.

That's so easy. That's gonna be so sick. Wait, what, what, what? I'll explain a sec. Okay, hold on. Finish moves. Okay, cool. Oh, Wally.

You could say what you want, but they don't like... This shit looks fire. They know how to make a trailer. This shit looks fire. And wait until the very end, too. Guns look fire. Shit.

Damn. Feen, fiend, fiend. Oh, shit. 16 maps at launch. Look at that. Oh my God. You almost got a pause on that. Yeah, you almost got to pause it on that.

Oh, wait, those, uh, the, which map was that with the train in the middle? Swarm. Oh my God, what is that? That's a swarm. When is the last time we've seen Swarm? Black Ops 2. Was it B.O3 or B.O2? No, B.O3 had wraps.

There was no swarm in that. Black Ops 2 was the last time there was swarm, right? Yeah. Yeah. So the weapon build code usually. You know, if you wanted to use my class, I would tell you all my attachments. Now, it generates a unique code, and I can just send you that code, and you put it in, and my class is built for you.

Thank you. Like, the gun. Does it count the perks? I don't know about perks, but it's definitely the weapon. So on your Twitch set, when I go to Shotsie's thing and I say a weapon. You can have the weapon code in his chat. Love that. Love that.

I hope they show, like, the public uses of it. Yeah. That'd be fucking seen. Well, I think, dude, that's going to make, like, class setup videos. TikToks, everything so much different. I'm going to tell you one thing about this thing. I have never been to a Kot NX before. I'm excited about that, but I got lucky that the Bears are playing the Raiders the same weekend.

So I was already planning on going. I got a business meeting on Friday, and then Saturday, my friends from home get there. Oh, you're going Friday to Wednesday. Yeah, and then from Wednesday, who's going to the shoot in L.A.? Not me. Riley, do you know who's going to the shoot in LA? There's like a monster shoot or something in L.A. I can, I have my guess.

Learn something. My guess is you. No. Optics Gump. Well, Seth for sure. And Shotsie. Shotsie for sure are going. That's the two that I'm confident will be there.

You know, world champions. Why wouldn't they be in? No, 100%. I'm not saying. I didn't get invited, even though I have rings. But they see this face and they don't think, let's put them on it. That's what I've been saying. saying. Anyway, so I think I might be

flying from Vegas to L.A and then back home. I hope you guys have so much fun at Codnex. I hope you guys just have a full blast. What you say? I hope you guys have a fucking blast. Yeah. I'm so jealous.

Yeah, I mean, I'm, bro, the beta is around the corner. I know, man, but like, bro, when you go there, dude, it is actually such a sick fucking event they held. Like, there's just setups everywhere. You see everyone. Like, you're just shitting on people that you can just stare up. across and just like... You see the true strength of the Activision budget when you go to Codnex. You understand it a lot more. Yeah. You walk in and they have 250 premium

streaming setups, double PC, big screens, tiny like compact streaming PCs. Really? Fucking sick. I'm talking they had... Last year at DC we got in like these buses and we had a we had an escort from the hotel to like they shut down, they have They have paper? They have paper. Last time I went, I was in like a huge airfield hangar, and there was like all these fucking fancy planes.

You were there, right? Was that, was that cod next? That was it called next? Or could have been called a cod? Was it Black Ops 4? Was that the Black Ops 4? Not Black Ops 4. Well, they did something similar for Black Ups 4.

The first one was in L.A. at the hangar. I think it was MW2. Then it was D.C. I did go to that one. I did go to that one when Mark Lamia was running Trairc Studios. So shout up Mark. Miami. That's the last time I went to. I really, to be honest, man, I was really excited about just taking everybody else's toys, you know, because all the gifts that the people get all the

collectibles. All the backpacks. Yeah, you know, up until one point, I seriously thought that I had the largest call of duty collection. You take mine. I have too much. They said so much shit to my door. I just don't have, if I had a house and I have like a dedicated storage room, yeah, I think I'd be okay with it, but now it's getting to the point where I have too much stuff. I hear that. Like, I don't really, I keep them as like collectibles, right? Like, anything Call of Duty sends me, in my head, I'm like, this is something I'm going to be happy to look at in 10 years. Yeah, 100%. I'm like, I don't have the room to keep it in here right now. The coolest fucking thing I have, I think from Call of Duty is they did like this clip competition like during advanced warfare.

And I submitted one of my clips, bro, I have an unlisted video with like 300,000 views. Like just a random AW clip. Yeah. And then out of nowhere in the mail I get like this fucking director's chair that said I won No call of duty like clip competition it has my name on the back to do. No It's fucking sick. Where is it?

How can you never show that off? It's at home. I think we're doing some space invaders shit. The cool pants, Joe. Uh, I think, I think we're doing some like, uh, we're doing gaming setup, like a gaming set up a series, right? Yep. I wish I had it here, man. It's in Canada.

Yeah, yeah. All my fancy stuff is back in Canada. Ain't nothing to see at mine. I will say so... I just had my place clean from the maid brigade. A fresh clean home, nothing better. Dude, it's... It was awesome, man.

And then for like two to three days, you do your best to keep it that clean, and then eventually it slowly starts falling off. And then one day you blink and it's like, how did this happen? And it's all dirty again? And you're like, is this me? The sink is full. My shoes are everywhere.

Dude, I do... Anytime that there's a what-not happening, my office, my home office and the garage is just like a fucking tornado blew through there. This was the first year. Yeah, I wasn't at this one. This was the first call to be next.

Yeah. I'm like right next to Blake Lopo? He was probably screen peeking. Oh, I get that joke. I get the joke. That's absurd. You know what I'm going to be doing? I'm going to be walking around to see

who has their own controllers in their hands. As you should, you got to bring yours. I don't have my own scuff, man. You got to bring yours. I told Bogie from scuff. I wish I was going. I said, let's do a limited edition. Methods controller.

There's actually six maps in the beta. There's murmurs that search and destroy might be in the beta, which we've never got before. Raid Express, hijacked return. and they did like an intel drop yesterday where they dropped a lot of information about overclocked gear so now like score streaks and like lethals and stuns and tactical's like an overclock feature where you can overclock it and unlock more so for example a stun right you

have your base stun and then you have overclock one and overclock two overclock one will hypothetically say this will keep you stunned longer or and that overclock two would stay this stops your movement for a second. That's just an example. I think Riley can bring it up here. I did see one thing on the dog. It said it was like a battery thing. So like the dog will just like stick around longer.

Yeah. Little shit like that, right? Yeah. So it's, I would say it's kind of sell. Well, yeah. So I want him to scroll. Riley, keep scrolling until you actually see the overclock stuff where it tells you all the,

yeah, but if you scroll, it'll show like the actual overclock Like, yeah, right here. So, for example, a stun. A stun works as normal, but with overclock 1, it makes the stunn last longer. Overclock 2 slows the enemy move speed when stunned. And that goes for all the tacticals, all the lethal. G8.

G8. Score streaks. G8. No, it depends on what it is. G8. The M8's returning. Oh, GA that. Which is, I think, a marksman rifle.

I saw the P.O.6 is coming back. You know that first one? There's a new game mode made with competitive in mind. it's a hybrid between CTF and uplink. Uh-uh. There is one device in the middle of the map. Both teams are essentially on offense. Each team has two zones in their base and your goal.

I don't think it's a plant. The way I'm thinking of it is like sabotage with two bomb sites, but I don't think it's a plan. I'm not sure if it's going to be like blitz or like uplink, but each team is fighting for one device trying to put into the enemy zone. It's called overload. Like moving the object into their base? Like some Overwatch shit?

Yeah, that sounds like some... Oh, no, no, no. It's like a... Think of like a bomb. Like you're carrying the bomb. Okay. Or like an up and ball. But it's not like a big tank in the middle.

No, no, no, it's not like where you're moving. Like you have to get kills while holding the... Yeah, yeah, it's not like that. Oh, that's it right there? Yeah, so this is... I like it. Maddox from Trey Arc has been very vocal. And Treyarch is like...

Who? I've said this a lot. Maddox and... Oh, dude. Legend. Yeah, he is... This guy's the guy's the GO. Fucking legend.

Yeah, so he's been tweeting a ton about... He said, Overlord... Overlord. Overload has been the source of a ton of noise in our playtest, excited for you all to check it out. Division was a new competitive mode inspired by some of our favorites like CTF and Uplink, of course,

with fun new twist that make it perfect for Black Op 7. Oh, just make Treyerk the thing, man. Interesting. Well, I said, I hope... First of all, I hope this is amazing. And even if it's not, I respect the fact that they're trying to...

Yes, I agree. I agree. I'm headedive game mode. But I hope it's amazing. And I said, if it's amazing, maybe I'm thinking too ahead. If it's amazing, there needs to be connection between the developers to make sure this new awesome game mode is in next year's game. Like, we can't introduce a brand new awesome game mode and then not have it next year. So if it does work and it is awesome, let's make sure IW has it in the next game.

If this pops off, does it replace control? I think, yes. This, because I'm not sure if we'll ever see like a four game mode. CDL again. And I really hope this works because I think there's a lot of... The issue with CTF is CTF is sometimes boring. The issue with control is people are kind of tired of control. It's never been a great game mode bar, Black Ops 4.

But control is in the game. But hopefully this replaces it. But yeah. I'm very optimistic about this year's competitive title. Exciting, man. Yeah. And dessert. I was just talking to Dessertel Mike.

yesterday. How's he doing? He's interviewing Mr. Beast now and shit. He's keeping back. He's interviewing Mr. Beast now and shit. Oh, dude, you can't get close to him anymore. I was surprised he called me. Who, Mike? Yeah. He thinks he's the top dog? No, he doesn't think he just knows.

Mike, don't do that. No, Mike, he's got those big fucking eyelashes and shit. Hey, how you doing, mate? He's like, what's up, man? Like, Shaga. Zini, how you doing, mate? Look at these guns we're going to use for race to species. He's top Shaga. Dude, I told him. I'm like, I'm like,

You know, somebody has to be working out there because, you know, Josh and Chris Marsh ain't Look at that out there, you know. Look at that thing, man. Fucking Josh, Nino's probably eating. Oh, he's not into his fitness. He's not into his fitness. What is this?

What is that? Is that a sniper private? Yeah, that's a P.O6. Ew. From B.03. Are there any snipers that look like snipers? Because you know that's what I, I don't use any. No, there's no M483.

Oh, this game's going to be awesome. No R-700. I truly actually think that way. Norista? bro i think we're back they're not bringing no ballistas no ballistas no i wish man they're gonna put a pay wall behind that maybe hopefully i'll pay for i would buy that in a heartbeat same with a heartbeat sensor anyway so i have a really really good i just got off a camp fest fucking i was flying high you were camping i'm saying yeah wow now now i'm home for four days then i go no no whoa whoa whoa

you finally got it you finally got it uh i'm going i leave to Vegas on friday i come back next Dude, I'm going to hang out with my friends the entire week. Just some good old bro time in Las Vegas. I'll sit at a table. Eat at a restaurant. What's up? What?

You ain't shaking that hand in the air or shit right now? Oh, no. No, I'll keep it quiet. I'll keep it quiet. Then he got some hardware. All right, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? All right, Riley.

Riley, how do you feel about it? Well, Perk, okay, so scroll up real quick, just to talk about this. Right now there's some drama because Perk 1 is so stacked. This is all slot one. You have Dexterity, Ninja, Flack, and Tack all in the same perk slot. So you could only use two of them with Perk Reed. So there's Maddox already commented on it. I think they're considering reworking this because here's my full opinion on this.

I'll try to make it quick. I think dexterity needs to be moved out of this, and I'm okay with keeping Ninja Flack and Tack. That way you have to sacrifice something depending on what. you want to do. Like that way, let's say in respawn, Dashie wants to use flak and tack. He doesn't need Ninja as much as Shotsi does, for example. So maybe Shotsi's running Ninja and respawn. Dash, he's not. But then in search, you have to use Ninja and then flack or tack, so you can get stunned or nated depending on what you choose. But dexterity can't be in here because I do

think dexterity needs to be on everybody's class. Like that's like a must have perk, but I do think those three, in my opinion, should be in the same slot, Ninja tack and Flack. That way you have to pick and choose between certain things. So everyone's not this crazy super soldier. Like, I don't think everybody should have flack tack, ninja, and Dex. Because then I'm like, everybody's just the same. But if everybody has the same thing, then it is competitive. That's, but. See, this is what some well, that's the way I used to think. I will say, that's the way I used to think, because as a player, you think very differently than maybe I do from the outside in now. And I do think, and I do think, players, I implore you to think about things from a game growth perspective now because

salaries are coming down. There's a lot of rumors of like four teams paying low. This is changing to where you need to care about game growth. We got to be careful with that, right? We can't say that there's rumors that sometimes. I guess we're not saying the names of the teams. No, but there is, I mean, but there is rumors that there's going to be three or four teams that are paying around the former minimum.

Nah, they need to, those teams. So, but if that's going to start happening, I think players need to be a little more focused on the bigger picture and the growth of the game. And I think that means telling more stories within the game, bringing back some strategy, maybe allowing some things that weren't allowed recently due to competitive integrity. That way we're able to tell a certain story. Like, I guess what I like to say is like, think about Cod Ghost, right? Yeah. someone would have a thermal, and then your bomb planner would have incog and a smoke. Yeah.

But if he gets picked early and no one else has any cog, there's an advantage. Now you need to focus on either avoiding that sniper or killing that sniper, otherwise you're going to get killed off the bomb for free. Like that was a story within the game. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, there was a game within the game that I think is kind of left, and I'm ranting, but I want to see that return because right now it's all, Shotsie kills Hydra, Shotsie gets a crazy three piece, and that's all fun and cool to watch.

but it's all surface level. It's just gunfight wins and rotations. No real brains behind. You know, something to be said about us color duty players. There's not like, oh my God, optics smoke to cross. Phase doesn't know how many cross. So phase right now, they're forced to do a two to split because they don't know if optics's going A or B.

That's not, there isn't that type of story anymore. So that's why I hope. I just want to see more allowed. What's that? Oh, close, close shave? What is that? Commando? Is it?

I don't know. Automatically use your dedicated melee attack when you perform a weapon butt attack. Oh, so instead of like, you know, the two hits, melees, it's just an instant one hit. Is a shank? Yeah. Kind of sick. You hope this is an awesome pub game. I hope this is an awesome pub game.

Bro, I don't know. I'm cool with, I don't play pubs. But sure. Yeah, do I stay on, I stay on game battles. I mean, your pub star, man. I fuck with pubs. Yo, I'm telling you, I look forward to this time of year every year because I know that I am going to be so into Call of Duty for the next three months period, nothing. But as soon as one of those weeks gets in the way where I have a family trip or I have a business trip that interferes with that.

We have a stacked little, okay, so coming up, we have Codneck September 30th, beta October 2nd through 8th. Battlefield October 10th. Halo champs, October 24th through 26th. And then Cod release, race to master prestige, November 14th. So we have just the most stacked schedule coming up. There's also a Halo major, but it's during the beta. I think it's, is it October, second and third? Is it Charlotte they're going to?

Oh, let's talk about this real quick. The Call of Duty League is considering trialing an 18 major in the Call of Duty 2026 season. Whoa, whoa, why? It's a good question. I think they think it's going to add, and apparently it's for DreamHack Birmingham as well, which I think is so fucked up to the UK fan base.

It's like the UK finally gets an event and it's going to be an 18 major and they're not going to maybe see some players they want to see. 18 and able to earn their seating and ticket to the event through an 11 match round. Robin qualifier is split opposed to previous matches

against randomly assigned teams. First of all, fine. Okay, we're now making people really fucking try on this thing and there's like, there has to be some real punishment in losing, losers to losing, right? That's to be punishment for that. But I don't think that this is the way personally. Well, no, well, that's champs. The punitive. Well, think about, well, no, because. I'm hated? Well, no, I just think it's, only eight teams go to champs. That's the biggest

tournament of the year. That is the big tournament everyone wants to qualify for. This, I think, gives an unfair advantage to the eight teams that do qualify for this. Let's say one of the top teams gets upset during this stage and they don't make this tournament, they're potentially missing out on a ton of points. And I also just think Dereal posted a unique perspective. And he said, speaking hypothetically here, he was like some of the- D'Reel is the coach of subliners? He used to, yeah, he was the coach of the championship team. He was like, this, he said some of the bottom feeder teams or the teams that don't want to pay to field competitive rosters or whatever the higher competitive rosters. He said they may want this so they have to spend less on logistics

and travel. Well, that's why they're doing it. I'm pretty sure that some of the, if what's, the rumors are true. But that is a fucking joke. A hundred percent. If you are, and please let me say this with my full fucking tits out. Listen, I got my I got my birdies out there trying to give me information on who it is. If any organizations think that way that they don't want to go to tournaments, because they don't want to pay for their team to go, you need to get the fuck out. And not kindly. You need to get out.

Not kindly. We got to go to Italy? All jokes aside. Like, I'm not saying you need to pay 150K salaries. But if travel to tournaments when we have like five or six tournaments a year is something you're worried about, just let someone else come take the spot. Because that's a given, shit. If that's true, that was just like a hypothetical perspective because he said when he was

at New York subliners, when he was looking at budgets and stuff. He was like, when you're throwing events, when you're going to events, like logistics are a conversation. So he's like, this is just a hypothetical outlook on it. But yeah, I'm severely against this. At the very least, I wish they do this in the U.S. because I think the U.K. fans should get like a full-blown major with all 12 teams because of how long it's been. So I don't like that it's happening in general and I don't like that it's in Birmingham. Because I think if we're going to Dreamhack Birmingham, just like Dreamhack Dallas, it should be a 16 team tournament to capture the old school MLG

vibes. You have the convention hall, you have the activations. It should be bigger, better. It should be what it used to be instead of just this dude, I couldn't have said it better myself. A new thing. I couldn't have said it better myself. Listen, as long as we are in

London, I'm sorry, as long as we are in England, whether London or Birmingham or Blackpool, you know that I am going to feel at home being that I have 6% English Lord blood in me. I wish it was London though.

How far is Birmingham from London? Like two hour flight? Yeah, it's that's... Open that map up? Hour fucked. No, bro, it's not like... It's not like you're going between New York and Birmingham, Alabama.

Train journeys take two hours and eight minutes. What the fastest... Wait, the fastest trains at hour 20? Hold on. These are sick. We're going to London. We're going to dinner. We're going to dinner in London, yeah?

We're going to dinner. Listen, not that there's any good food anywhere in that country. There is. You just haven't been there with me yet. Okay, okay, okay. Anyway, do they have a... Is there a casino there or what? Who are some 41?

That's, bro, that's easy. Listen, all I'm saying is that I'm fucking glad that we're finally going home. It's coming home, boys. It's coming home. Well, what's cool is it? I want nothing more than to win a championship, a major in front of the Green Wall elite that is the residents of England and Ireland. Yeah, I can't wait. I can't lie.

I mean, that crowd is so fucking awesome every single time. And they're all just vibe and like, and there's rumors that there's also a Paris event. So now we get another event in Europe. There's little good food in Paris. Now with the gentlemen's fan base involved, like we're set up for some. some fire tournaments. Dude. Rumored champs in Vegas with Vegas phase being announced.

We haven't talked about this, but Vegas Falcons rebranded, Riod Falcons, and then Faze, Atlanta Faze, re-branded to Vegas Faze. And there's a lot of drama around Faze's new branding. Some people are like, why is it not red? That logo isn't good. I personally, it's kind of grown on me. I kind of like it. I wasn't a fan of it at first, but like, it's not as bad.

Those colors talk Vegas to me, though. Why? I don't know. There's like the the the the cyberpunk the sin city type of vibes You know what? Thinking about like the previous Vegas collar composition Callaway composition I agree

I just don't think that a that a Have you seen the Riyadh Falcons rebrand? It's fucking sick. Yeah. I just I don't know man Vegas Vegas face is like crazy Oh Ria Falcons new logo is sick

Where is it? Right there That's the React Falcons? Yeah, that's a cool logo. Okay, where's the, where's the, it looks like the Vegas logo? I'm sorry, oh, never mind, never mind, never mind. What is the difference between, what's the,

what's the Falcons actual logo? Like, scroll up, they say the Falcons link to their main thing, isn't it? Yeah, Team Falcons, GG. The stereo. Riley. Wi-Fi's out. Dude, there we go.

Oh, shit. I like it. Yeah, I fucking love it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what we didn't do. when we were in Riyadh. I wanted to like have a fucking falcon land on my on my shit. You know what I'm saying? Yo, we didn't talk about the UFC shit. Let's talk about the UFC White House event. How cool that's going to be? Um, I think it's cool. I think it's going to be invite only. Okay, the reason I think

it's going to be cool as someone who's a casual UFC fan. Everyone hates when I talk about UFC because you're like, you don't know anything. I'm like, dude, come on. I like watching people beat the shit out of each other. But everybody wants to fight on this card. Like the car, like, and It's not going to be one of those cards where it's like every fight is mediocre until every top fighter wants in on the UFC White House event. So you're going to see every fight banger, banger, banger, banger, banger. McGregor got to come back, right? Apparently it's McGregor versus Chandler, which I'm like, okay, sure. But I want to see John Jones said he's not.

John Jones? Mm-hmm. Are they asking him about it? He's got it, bro. Bro, he's saying no, but they'll probably say yes. I don't know. Listen, I'm, I, anybody, anytime anybody says, like, anything about UFC, I think to myself, like, I haven't been keeping up with the, with UFC for the past, like, maybe even five years as, as, as diligently as was. But I've been watching UFC since 1993.

UFC won. The fuck, is this what it's going to look like? What the fuck? I could tell you one thing is invite only and those are not random events. Oh, no, it's invite only. Yeah, they can't do like an actual ticket sales. Well, let's, we're going, you want to go? I'm pretty sure we can go.

Dude, please. Anything you can do, I'm there. When is it? It's going to be in the summer. So they, July 4th next year? They said, like, the view, they're going to have, like, a view of, like,

the Washington monument in the background. I mean, dude, it's crazy. Cool. Logistically, I can't lie. How much do you think floor seats are? The secret service has to hate this shit. It's probably. The people in charge of security are like,

really a fucking UFC event on the White House front lawn. that's what you want to do. We have to secure UFC event on the White House lawn. It's going to be cool to watch, but they're probably like, are you serious? I'm there. Oh, this is like a viewing spot

if you don't get in. No, that's the interviews. That's a way in, probably. Dude, that's so cool. America, baby. That shit's going to be crazy. Fireworks. And by America, I was seeing him,

including Maxwell. go to North America. You know what I'm saying? All right. That National Anthem's just on the roof watching. That National Anthem's going to hit a different. That National Anthrop is going to be crazy. Oh, yeah.

How are your fantasy teams performing? Who fucking put this bullshit up there? Oh, sorry, sorry. No, I only say that because I'm like two and one. I just won this last one, this past one. I'm doing really good in the Optic League. I think I'm undefated. I'm in like five leagues.

Three of them are going great. Two of them not so much. Experimental ones? Well, dude, a lot of the QBs are hurt. So it's just like, like Burrow is hurt. So what's your name? Dude, I fucking traded Burrow.

For two, uh, two, uh, you traded Burrow for two, uh, for two uh, two players. Oh, I was gonna say for two uh, who'd I trade out with, Jimmy? Jimmy got punked in that one. But dude, Burroughs hurt. J.J. McCarthy's hurt.

Uh, jaden Daniels is hurt. My New York Giants are choking games to the Cowboys. Malik neighbor. is passing the touchdown. I had my hands on top of my head. I was like, they've done it. They've beaten them. And then the best kicker ever just comes and kicks a 90-yard field goal. It's like, dude, that guy is so good. Ladies and gentlemen, we obviously talking about the fantasy stuff and how it's going. Why don't we move over to the price pick segment so that we can make some of these, so that we can lock in some of these picks. It is Thursday, and the game's about to start. So

make sure that you get on that. Open that up. Make the right picks. or follow us up. Let me see. I say we just do the Thursday game. We could do the Thursday game. Yeah, let's do a Thursday game, right? This comes out on the Thursday. We do the Thursday game.

Yeah, it's the Card. Go to Rush Yards. For me, please. J.S.N. Moore. Kailer Mary Rushyards. I'll take that 29 and a half more. Yeah, right there. Kyle Murray.

You know Kyler Murray was in this very office, right? Was he? You know that he stepped through here and then he sat down and played video games over here? I played, I played, I played Lodyson once with Nade Shot, K-1, and Devin-Bucker. I was just like, I don't even know what to talk about. Chad Rylan over two or one and a half field goals made?

Let me see. When you play with celebrities? I'm thinking JSA. Actually, no. They're like, dang, damn. No, touchdowns are scary though. Because, like, usually. Is that touchdowns?

I'm saying, I was going to say JSN touchdown. Yeah, right there. Rushing and receiving touchdowns right there. Yeah. I think I'm going to go JSN touchdown. Same. A lot more. Yeah, I'm going to go JSN touchdown.

Yeah. Right. Go to NFL as a whole. Let's, there's definitely some guarantees here. Like, bro, Aaron Rogers, one passing touchdown? Bro, Jalen Hurts more for sure. That's my quarterback. He got me 30 points last week.

I mean, yeah, it's, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, that's my pick. You guys pick the rest. Well, the thing with the Jalen Hertz. What? Well, that's like a guarantee, but you can only put like, like, what, $20 on that, I think? Yeah.

Cool, that's all I got, 20 bucks. I think Aaron Rogers won touchdown, passing touchdown. He had two last week. Versus of Vikings? You don't think he's getting one touchdown? Just D.K. McCaff is down there somewhere. Derek Henry's a lock. Yeah, bro, that guy's, I mean...

No, Rush Plus receiving. Yeah. I mean, yeah, I'll take Derek Henry, too. There you go. That's either. Was that five? One more. Pam, pick.

What do you see that you want to do? Don't take any advice from any of us. No advice. What do the emojis mean on him? I mean, why are they there? That's just fire. It means it's like they're a little wild, but touchdowns in general are a little wild. Because the green one is more likely to happen.

The red one, you get paid extra because it's a toss-up. Pick a green one, man, for the green wall. But it turns out. Dack? Dach's got to get one pass. Touched up. I don't know, man. Oh, versus the Packers, who just lost to the Browns.

Um. James Cook touchdown is probably a guarantee. I like the name James Cook, man. I don't watch football that much. I like the name James Cook. All right, there you go. Hit it. That's his pick.

So don't let me see it. Oh, it's the around the internet segment that we are about to do. I hate this. I hate the first one. A fake Steam game allegedly scams streamer raising money for his own cancer treatment out of 30,000. $1,000 plus in crypto. What the hell? There's a special place in hell for them.

You want to read this or you want me to do it? They were content. Wait, hold on. I need to. This particular spearfishing campaign is extraordinarily heinous because Rastel is suffering from stage force sarcoma and is actively seeking donations for their cancer treatment. They lost $30,000 of money, which was designated for their cancer treatment. In the steam clip, their friend tries to answer them while they cry out, I am broken now.

They were contacted by an unknown person who, requested they play their video game demo downloadable from Steam in exchange for Ross Dilan playing their video game demo on Steam stream they would financially compensate them unfortunately the Steam game was actually a crypto-drainer masquerading as a legitimate video game so I'm confused he downloaded it and then it just stole his money why that's a thing yes well that's fucking awful yes team got to do something about that you can just download a game and it can steal your money what's this really Bro, it's fucking huge.

Life's fucked up. I know. Dog, I will send it back, but he literally will... All right, I'm going to read it from the top. I didn't want to do that to be... I do that one, to be honest. But once I was done pen testing and sent it off, it was already done. And I figured he would make it back in a day.

He was talking about the streamer. He would make it back in the day. Bro, it's fucking huge. Is that the scammer? Yeah. And then Swap says he already made it back, to be honest. Wow. For context, these two individuals, mainly David,

who were involved in the theft. Damn. Is this name David? The scammer? Fuck you, David. Yeah, fuck. Huh? Relax, man.

Sorry, my bad. I don't know if David's going to put his size on you. I'm kidding. It's a huge fucking reference in Rusta's tumor. Come on, man. To which they didn't proceed to nuke everything. They will face their punishments and do course good. Yeah, that's terrible.

Dude, there's, there's a, there's, I don't want to. On a more positive note, hold on, streamer. Ziz Becker donated $30,000 to him Hick on ZZZ Becker Click on that at What a legend The Master Chief of Crypto From Texas

I have no interest in Tarkov. But I started watching him and I'm like, holy shit, this guy might be my favorite streamer ever. Bro, he's that good. You have to watch to understand. Really? I met him for the first time when he did...

Around the bar? He's got it. He's got it. He's got it, got it. He's got it, got it. And you know me, man, I got an half of talent. He's doing his thing. Oh, most of the time.

upscale vandal. I'm not so familiar with him. Obviously, I'm not in the... I love sneakers, but I'm not in that, like, community. It didn't feel the same, if I'm being honest, man. Like, my favorite podcast. That's like... That's like watching criminal minds, and then Hodgner leaves.

Yeah, something like that. It's like he's too main of a character. Dude, no, this guy's main character. So mad. That's how I feel about why. I love their podcast still. So I feel about Wallow and Gilly. I felt like I kind of...

Wait, they replaced one of them? No, no. They just added guests, and I used to love when they used to just to bullshit with them, each other. Just between each other and just telling stories, roasting each other. Like, I don't give a fuck about the guests.

I want to hear y'all talk shit with each other. But imagine if it was... It wasn't a groan, you know what I'm saying? No, but imagine if it was Wallow, Gilly, and Bose for like a long-ass time, a couple of years. And this is your favorite podcast, and then they replaced... Wait, did this just drop?

I will click play on it, but the description throws me off a bit. Yeah. But I will, of course, give it a go. So my daughter is usually the one that gets all the iPhones, right? Like she'll get online and buy the eye with mom's credit card, of course. This time she said, Dad, you don't want it, right?

See, I would, the little one that does the Excel, the Excel? I would love the air, but the battery life is just not great.
